POL License Expired

[trimmer21]

Good thread.. I just checked and found that i have until the fall to renew.

Has anyone used the online renewal?

I cannot see anywhere if I can start my renewal now or wait until the last 3 months or so.. and I assume that the expiry is always set on your birthday?

I did mine last November by using the on-line form fill-in feature,print it off,attach the "certified" photograph (mug shot,LOL) and mailed it off. I had my new PAL in three weeks. Easy-peasy.

Thanks..

I see that you can also just upload a jpeg.. so no mailing required.

How long before your expiry did you renew?

For me,it was 3 months. Never leave something like this until the last minute.

I just renewed and mine expires in May. Got on it early because I didn't want to chance being being without for Turkey season. Did the whole thing online including the pictures, couldn't be simpler. Took less than two weeks. I was pleasantly surprised with the efficiency from a government office.

Since I own a PROHIB I wanted to ensure the timely renewal of my permit ; soooo , I printed the forms (off the web) and mailed them with the requested fee ($80) . 2 days later I received their reminder with the necessary forms . In other words : They'd sent the renewal-forms automatically . However , they'd asked for only $60 regardless of being aware that I owned a prohib (all the details were printed on the forms already) . Needless to say that I contacted them right-away and demanded a $20 refund . --- The first RESPONDER assured me that $80 was the proper amount since it involved a prohib . --- After having my INQUEST transfered to another individual I was informed that indeed $60 was sufficient . --- Another 3 weeks passed and I was told that the ($20) refund had been approved in January and it would be in the mail soon . --- Sofar , I'm still waiting !

Got my notice 2 1/2 months before my birthday, printed the forms, got a pic and mailed it back the same week. Got my new card in just under 4 weeks with almost a month to spare.

just a bit of info in case it's not known; Walmart (at least the newer ones) take the pics you need in the photo section. A whole lot cheaper (about $11) than going to a Passport Photo studio (about $20).

And for those of you who are Costco members it is even cheaper....
